Abstract

To develop an antimutagenic functional diet, the foods that have shown anticancer activity were mixed to make ready-to-eat powdered diets. The diets were prepared with various kinds of powdered cooked cereals, cooked legumes, oil seeds and sea tangles, and freeze-dried vegetables. The antimutagenic effects of methanol extracts from three mixed diets were investigated in the Ames test, SOS chromotest, and in vivo supravital staining micronucleus assay in the mice.(omitted)
